Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – Hawaiian Pizza

I hope you have been enjoying Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth as much as I have been. Most of my free time has been spent playing this game nonstop. Luckily for Jeff and I, we had some planned time off so we’ve had a lot of extra free time to enjoy the game. I’ve enjoyed rolling around on the Street Surfer in the large map of Waikīkī. Not only are there tons of items to pick up but the amount of activities and substories are outrageous. There is so much to do that, for first time players, it might seem a bit intimidating. I’d recommend just taking it a bit at a time, spend a play session maybe focusing on one activity instead of doing 10 different things and then feeling drained. There is a lot to do but remember it is important to enjoy your vacation away from the hussle of Ijincho.

While strolling around the streets, there are a ton of different food locations from shops you can sit down to enjoy a meal to other locations where you can jam your pockets full of items to carry around with you. One of my go-to spots to stock up has been Pizzeria Felice on the east side of the map. I am a huge fan of pizza and thoroughly enjoy a good Hawaiian style pizza. The moment I saw this item in the game I knew I would be recreating it. You will have to plan ahead for the recipe because the dough will need time to ferment in the refrigerator: at least 18 hours or 2 nights if you are wanting a little more of a sourdough-like flavor. This recipe will give you 3 medium sized pizzas. If you are feeling you want a little variety and don’t plan to make all 3 the same thing, make sure to reduce the amount of toppings because the ingredients list is for the 3 pizzas in total.

Pizza Dough
690 grams bread flour
7 grams active dry yeast
15 grams sugar
5 grams kosher salt
5 grams garlic powder
5 grams ground fennel seeds
2 cups water
2 tbsp olive oil

Assembly
cornmeal
8 oz pineapple chunks
14 slices of Canadian bacon, quartered
8 slices of thick cut bacon, cooked and chopped into large pieces
16 oz mozzarella cheese
8 oz gruyere cheese
24 oz pizza sauce

One day before you plan to make the pizza, prepare the dough. Combine the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, garlic powder, and ground fennel seeds in the bowl of a stand mixer. In a small bowl, combine the water and olive oil. Pour the liquid into the bowl of the stand mixer.

Place the bowl in the stand mixer and mix on low with a dough hook until all the ingredients come together. When it has formed into a ball, increase the speed of the mixer to medium and knead in the machine for 5 minutes.

Lightly flour your countertop and shape into a smooth ball. Spray a large bowl with nonstick spray (or rub with olive oil). Place the dough ball into the bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for 18 to 24 hours (48 hours for that extra flavor mentioned above).

The next day, remove the dough from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you start to prepare your pizza. Punch the dough down and place it onto a lightly floured countertop. Split into 3 equal portions and form into balls. Cover with a clean towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 475°F. While the dough is resting and the oven is heating up, place a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the pineapple chunks and cook until slightly golden and any excess liquid has evaporated, about 10 to 15 minutes. This step is vital to avoid a soggy pizza. Once cooked, remove from the heat and set aside until you are ready to set up the pizzas. 

Lightly flour your work area and take one of the dough portions. Pound the dough into a disk shape. Continue to stretch the dough into a disk shape. Stretch the dough until it is about the size of a medium (about 11-inches) pizza. Prepare a round baking tray by spraying with nonstick spray and sprinkling with cornmeal. Place the dough onto the tray. 

Spread the pizza sauce on top of each dough. Add as much as you like, this is your pizza after all! Add a generous layer combination of the cheeses. Top with pineapple, bacon, and canadian bacon. 

Finally, top with a little more cheese.Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Turn the pizza and then bake for another 10 minutes or until the crust has browned nicely. After the pizza has cooked, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes. Repeat these last 3 steps with the other portions.
